The new batch of celebs who’ll be living in the ‘Big Brother’ house for another season of drama are filling with one thing in common — starting salaries … TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the contacts for all 12 stars in season 2 of “Celebrity Big Brother” tell us each of them will rake in $ 100k … just for entering the house. The winner can walk away with an additional $ 250k.

Our production sources also tell us the houseguests had been sequestered in separate hotel rooms for 4 days prior to entering the house Wednesday. We’re told CBS brass didn’t want anyone in the cast knowing who else was set to appear until the premiere.

As if the new ‘Bachelor’ didn’t already know he was a virgin, his suitors (and the show at large) constantly reminded him during the season premiere … and it got old fast.

Colton Underwood‘s journey got started Monday night, and as he was meeting the lovely ladies who’ll be vying for his heart …and apparently his crotch. His virginity was on the minds in the mouths of almost every girl. It was awkwardly charming at first, but quickly became a tired gag.

Even worse … the virgin gimmicks quickly escalated from a chat to full-blown costumes just to land the joke. One girl popped a “cherry” balloon in front of Colton, another teased him with a real peach, and yet another took away his “V” card in a corny magic trick.

But, Alex D. of Boston took the cake (and the award for worst contestant thus far) by creeping out of the limo in a human-size sloth suit and lurching over to him in slow-mo … staying committed to the whole sloth thing the entire way through.

It was cringeworthy to say the least. Fact is … Colton’s more than just his virginity — here’s hoping the producers of the show realized that before it’s too late.
